How to get in at CTI
Securing an internship at CTI requires speed because early applicants often receive more attention before the candidate pool grows. Intern Insider sends an instant alert the moment a role matching your target is published anywhere, which helps you apply among the first. Applying early is a distinct advantage when competing for roles at a large firm with a national footprint. You can use this timing to ensure your application is reviewed while the recruiter is still actively screening. Intern Insider also surfaces the recruiters behind the company roles so you can reach out directly to ask about the position or a referral. Reaching out to a recruiter directly often improves your response rate compared to applying into a queue. This approach shows initiative and helps you stand out as a serious candidate.
